Have Volcano, Will Travel

Back at the base, the talking heads are suggesting that it would be nice for each of them to have their own room. They are given rooms with the stipulation that they may lose the room if other hunters are invited to stay at the base.

Acuros says that he knows where another skulls is, Connie pulls out her smart phone. Acuros says, I don't have fingers. Carter goes and gets a paper map and lays it out. Pack your bags everyone we are going to Hawaii!!!! Going to the big island on the southwest side. Actually it is by highway 11 At the Kilauea volcano.

We private charter a plan to Hawaii for $20,000. We arrive in the evening and it is raining. We check into a hotel and relax for the night. Connie asks if anyone else if looking for this skull, he says yes very much so. Before getting too settled we take Acuros out to the site to see what we can find first off. Acuros points to a small white puff and says it is in the. It is in the volcano.

We need suits and equipment to get into the volcano, so we forge documents to say that we are from the university of Colorado here for research. Cal goes to the volcanic park office and introduces himself as Rick Brados from the University of Colorado geology department. Asks for and is given 7 suits, respirators, etc. deposit is $10,000.

We rent a truck with a wench and drive out to the site. Some others are there and look to be packing up. Mina is worried that they are also looking for the skull. Gator asks Acuros if the skull is still safe or if it has been found already. No it does not seems so. They walk out and wave, just seem to be researchers taking samples.

Walk in a bit, there is some smoke coming up, it's warm, pretty warm. Get to the edge and we suit up. This is an active volcano. Acuros directs us to plant the explosives in particular places. Gator reviews this and feels they should go other places. He works on planting 6 of the 8 explosives, while the rest of the group watches from very far away.

Gator sets off the explosives. Thunder roles in And lava starts to shoot into the air. Acuros says to run. Marcus tony and gator wait for the lava to pass and then head in with cable. Carter and Connie are ready to create a distraction if any onlookers arrive. The get down very carefully bracing themselves against the walls hovering over the lava. They find the chest. They tie the wench off. The give the signal to pull the cable and they see a small bit a lava come out from behind the chest. The three move out for safety before they have the chest pulled completely free.

The chest is pulled free and lava is flowing like crazy. Mina is in the truck and turned the wench on high. Carter is being questioned by some researchers, who are coming to see the eruption. They are questioning who we are and why they cannot go in to see the lava flow. Carter bullshits like a pro.

The box is pulled to the edge, they redo the tie and get ready to pull it the rest of the way out to the truck. Cal lines the truck bed with wet leaves to help protect the truck from the chest which was just covered in lava. Marcus wraps the box in tow chained and we lift it with them.

We return to the office to return the gear and find out the the gear was actually marked as stolen. Who ever sole us this broke in and posed as a worker and pocketed the money. We will file the report remotely due to lie about about to miss a flight.

We get back to the plan and get the box unlocked. In it is a ruby skull. Connie pings the skull. They converse. The skulls name is Deltorum Telhon I am the flame of the brotherhood. We don't know what that means and he says we will find out in time.
